[QUOTE="rocketman, post: 4016950, member: 24956"] I couldn't find brass when I first bought my Krag so I took 303 brass I and did the conversion. I annealed the case shoulders, lubed, then used the Krag chamber to reform them to what I called "303 Krag". I engraved the heads with "Krag". I also just used a 303 Lee neck sizer with a .308 mandrel for a while until I got a proper die. Later I got some 30-40 brass from Grafs and converted all my "303 Krag" back to 303 Brit. The "303 Krag" cases worked fine for the 5-6 firing cycles and I didn't see an accuracy change when using them vs the 30-40 brass. The necks are shorter so you'll have to seat some bullets further back. In the pic below I have a 220 round nose bullet seated with the cannelure at the same position the 30-40 brass neck would be. That should give you a length perspective. [/QUOTE]
